Probably most of you know that some good editors has a ressource of auto-completion during edit. In Notepad++ you need to install it and to enable it. Here is step by step:

1. To see if CCompletion is installed. Go to Tab "Installed" of "Show Plugin Manager", if not go to Tab "Available" of "Show Plugin Manager". 2. To install CCompletion click in check box and run install button.
3. Enable CCompletion in Settings/Preferences as show image below: Close it and restart Notepad++
4. To use it, just write first character and will be displayed like this: Confirm by slecting and Enter.

That's all ! Enjoy it !

Thanks a lot Pablo. I will try.

You can also access Auto-completion by pressing Ctrl+SpaceBar (at any time during your edition).

In the configuration for auto-completion, there is an option for "Function Completion":



But for this working, you will need to unpack xBase.rar (here attached file) and put in
C:\Arquivos de programas\Notepad++\plugins\APIs folder.

Thank you Pablo.

If everything goes well, we can include these features default in our next release.

Let us know if is working for you. I will work on in this xBase file to update and I will try to put the sintax of each item

at the step as I could update with a new version I also will change the file comment version for downloading, by this means always will be the latest version of the file.

=== VERY IMPORTANT ===

I just started to re-edit xBase file for "Function completion" and I could not show function sintax without the function name. So I do not know if all of you prefer with or with sintax, see image below: The main problem when is opted with function sintax that is that is bringing it all together for souce editor.

Without function sintax only function name is bringing. I will need your prompt responses soon as posible, because I am in doubt what is better for all of us.
(with sintax or without it)

In my opinion, I prefer with sintax, because with it we can making use of the variable names (in standard format) into source editor.

I get the auto completion working in my system.

It will be helpful if we have the function name along with the syntax.

Thanks Pablo for your wonderful guidance.

Good ! So I will continue working on "with sintax". But remember, when user make his choice by auto-completion will write function name+sintax on the edition of source.

In my case the syntax is more important.
